7

7. A resist film comprising the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition claimed in claim 1 .

8

8. A pattern forming method comprising: a step of forming the resist film of claim 7 on a substrate; a step of exposing the resist film; a step of developing the exposed film.

9

9. The pattern forming method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the exposure is performed using an electron beam or an extreme-ultraviolet ray.

10

10. The pattern forming method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the development is performed using a developer containing an organic solvent.

11

11. A method for manufacturing an electronic device, comprising employing the pattern forming method claimed in claim 8 to form a pattern on an inorganic substrate or a coating-type inorganic substrate suitable for use in process of producing a semiconductor, a liquid crystal device or a circuit board.
